LookBook: The Rolled Up Pant

   In my world rolled up skinny pants are chic and sophisticated, it looks put together too but w a bit of an edge. Denim is a year round staple and when it comes in the slim form it flatters every body type (seriously!). All you need to do is play with the top.

   Here's a few examples of what to pair up  with your rolled up denim:

*Blazers for all body types
*A button down shirt (oxford, denim or even silk) are also nice picks, if you are busty leave the mid to top buttons open and wear a cami underneath, if you are fuller around the stomach area, loose the belt and add chunky necklaces to draw attention up.
*Tweed jackets are cute for the boyish bodies, those who don't have much of a waist, it adds a feminine touch!
*A nice leather piece, be it a shirt or a jacket makes your outfit turn into a wow instantly ;)
*Heels are a must if you are short, it elongates your figure and adds good proportion when worn with the rolled up pant, but flats are also cute (think Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O.)

Leather top in Coral, BCBG; Black skinnies, Rag and Bone; leopard printed booties, Aldo.

For this look I put my hair up in a messy pony-tail and wore very little make-up consisted of eye-liner and a red lip stain.

I love that this combo of nudes is chic and contemporary at the same time. Button down military inspired shirt, Ralph Lauren Denim; black leather belt, Brave; skinny jean, Zara; black pumps, Nine West. All jewelry from Stella & Dot.

For this look I let my hair down and blew dry leaving it damp and put up in a bun over night so it gives some texture. Eye make-up is a shade of green with black liner and nude lips!

LookBook: The Pastel Look with Mermaid Skirt!

  Are you a big fan of the nudes and pastels but needs a little something to spice things up? Like the romantic style but needs a bit of an edge?! Well, this is a look for you my darling ;)

  I got this Forever 21 skirt and was hesitant on what to wear with it, I didn't want the typical "cutesy look" or an "all over sparkles" type of thing, so to add an edge to it and a strong color I paired the skirt with a silk cream blouse (romantic style) with chocolate brown accessories, such as a fedora hat, peep toe oxfords and a thick leather belt!! Hope you enjoyed this look and get inspired to try on some risqué add-ons.

Since it's pretty cold outside I paired my outfit with a leather jacket and a soft nude pashmina ;)

The hat adds a bit of a spice to an otherwise bla outfit!

Love love love the fur with ruffles vest I got from my dearest manager! She gave me as a gift and it worked perfectly with the rest of the pieces!!

The soft look! Works for an office as well as for happy hour ;D

LookBook: The oxblood fever!

   By now you've heard all kinds of names for the good old burgundy...oxblood, chianti, Bordeaux, cherry, cranberry, etc, etc...the point being this warm hue is EVERYWHERE literally! So, because I'm trying to not chop off my locks (after much consideration, not) I decided to do some low lights in the trendy color, and I like it!!! Yeah yeah I like it!! 🎤🎵🎶🎼🎧

   So since I like to show off (have you noticed?! I'm pretty discreet if you ask me!) I'm posting my faves ;D hope you enjoy!!

   Show off too and send me a pic of your version of the trend! I would love to publish :))))

Beijos,

This is the very color and product I used! Foam was a lot easier to apply!
